Screenshots

Interactive workflows, not a hosted explorer clone.

These screens show BitScope interacting with a local regtest node and pairing each UI result with command-line and JSON-RPC context.

Architecture

Hosted docs, local execution.

The public site is intentionally static. The real BitScope app runs locally because the backend talks to the user's Bitcoin Core RPC endpoint and keeps credentials server-side.

Frontend

Next.js pages for dashboards, labs, command explanations, and educational workflows.

Backend

FastAPI services translate Bitcoin Core RPC responses into friendly, secret-safe learning data.

Bitcoin Core

The user's own node remains the source of truth. No hosted blockchain APIs are used.

Run locally

Start with regtest.

git clone https://github.com/comwanga/BitScope
cd BitScope
.\scripts\compose.ps1 up --build

Open http://localhost:3000, then use Demo Mode to create a clean wallet, mine mature regtest coins, send a transaction, decode script, and export the command trail.
